Hello All,
My wife and I just recently rescued a Yorkie from a shelter. His behavior in general is pretty good. However, when he jumps on my lap or rolls on his back he shows his teeth. I interpret the wrinkling nose and teeth showing as a snarl, but he then licks me. I'm not sure what to make of this and was hoping someone with more experience might be able to shed some light.

Thanks!
